Ji Lingzhou walked towards Cheng Mingran and said, "Why haven't you rested yet? Have you been waiting here all this time?"

Cheng Mingran looked up and said, "Yeah," she nodded slightly.

Ji Lingzhou sat down next to her: "Are you scared by what happened today?"

Cheng Mingran nodded: "I just didn't expect something like this to happen, so I was unable to react for a moment." She was telling the truth.

"It's just a little accident. Do you want to rest first? I'll stay with you. Everything outside has been dealt with, and there won't be any other problems tonight." Ji Lingzhou lowered his voice and comforted her.

Cheng Mingran was worried about something, so how could she be in the mood to rest? She looked at Ji Lingzhou: "Your Majesty, have you found out the origins of the assassins? Who are they? Are they from the Jin'an King's party?"

Ji Lingzhou nodded: "Well, the remnants of King Jin'an's party probably still have some unrealistic hopes, hoping to make a comeback one day."

"But King Jin'an..." Cheng Mingran frowned. Hadn't he already been captured?

"It's hard to eliminate the remnants." Ji Lingzhou replied.

"Your Majesty..." Cheng Mingran was worried.

Ji Lingzhou sighed: "I know what you want to say. The Cheng family is responsible for the safety of this spring hunt, so they are responsible for what happened this time. However, the Cheng family can be considered to have made up for their mistakes by protecting the emperor and later catching the rebels and putting down the rebellion in time." Ji Lingzhou had already thought of a reason.

Only after hearing this did Cheng Mingran slowly breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of what had just happened, she pursed her lips slightly.

Ji Lingzhou thought Cheng Mingran was frightened by what happened just now, so he took the initiative to hug her in his arms: "Don't think about it anymore, everything is fine now."

Cheng Mingran quietly leaned in his arms, smelling the sandalwood scent emanating from him, and felt relieved. She had never thought that one day Ji Lingzhou would put her first, consider her feelings no matter what he did, and even know what she was thinking.

She admitted that she was actually a little moved by the scene just now. After all, in such a critical situation, the first person he thought of was her, and she was the most important person at that moment.

"It's time to rest." Ji Lingzhou gently wiped Cheng Mingran's head.

Cheng Mingran didn't say anything, just let Ji Lingzhou pull her to rest. Because of what happened today, the entire camp was on high alert, and she couldn't sleep in Ji Lingzhou's arms.

Ji Lingzhou naturally noticed it, and he asked in a low voice: "Can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Cheng Mingran did not deliberately hide it.

Ji Lingzhou patted Cheng Mingran's back gently: "Are you scared or are you not used to the environment here? If you feel uncomfortable, I will ask someone to prepare to return to the palace early." Ji Lingzhou said.

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just have some insomnia." Cheng Mingran replied.

"Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?" Ji Lingzhou asked with concern.

"I'm fine and I don't want to call a doctor. I'm not as pretentious as you guys. You don't have to stare at me like this and make a fuss about nothing." Cheng Mingran was helpless. Ji Lingzhou was too worried and would magnify everything.

"Isn't it because you like to scare me?" Ji Lingzhou started to shift the blame.

Cheng Mingran immediately perked up after hearing this. She poked her head out of Ji Lingzhou's arms and looked at him: "When did I scare you?" She frowned and asked back with dissatisfaction.

Ji Lingzhou laughed out loud because he was touched by Cheng Mingran's cuteness.

"Aren't you scared me? You scare me every day." Ji Lingzhou's tone became much more relaxed, and Cheng Mingran unconsciously relaxed a little as well.

"I didn't." Cheng Mingran refused firmly.

Seeing this, Ji Lingzhou stopped teasing her: "Okay, if you say no, then no. How can I have the courage to argue with you?" The corners of his lips curved slightly, but Cheng Mingran was the only one who felt that what he said was weird.

It was Ji Lingzhou who compromised, but why did she feel that it was still her fault? She said that it was over, but she didn't have the courage to argue with her. She was still talking about her...

But this interruption is not without its benefits. At least Cheng Mingran is not so nervous now.
